Currently, cash and credit/debit are the two common ways to pay for items. Will crypto join them as a third common way to pay for items by the end of 2030?

Resolves based on my subjective opinion, and if it seems at least a little ambiguous I will ask a few "trustworthy-ish" users for their opinions on the market.

Ferarri is starting to accept crypto as a payment in the US and is expanding to Europe, per CNBC.

i think a better way to resolve is this is to decide some collection of stores and see if at least some % of them offer the option to pay in crypto

@DeadRhino i like the idea but i think that'd be hard to do, since then my sample size would have to be representative of the population that we're polling. which is the world, meaning i would need to get samples from other countries, which is a bit much. even getting a proper dataset on the US would be difficult.) unless data is released specifically for this i can't see how this would be possible.
